Residents in Pridgeon Avenue have been living with a stink after sewage flooded their gardens.
The sewage has been flowing for over four days and despite reporting the problem to the City of Ekurhuleni, it has still not been resolved.
“Our neighbour’s yard has now flooded due to this, so the sewage from their yard into our yard and the yard behind them,” said Gavin Coetzee.

“The sewage drain started leaking on June 20 and I logged a call with the City. The plumbers came out and seemingly sorted out the blockage.
“On June 21, it was running over again, I then logged another call. I followed up on this call at least twice a day as we were not receiving any assistance.
“Last Wednesday, I logged a third call as I was told that the previous call had been closed as the issue had been sorted out.
“I was told last night that it would be sorted out today before 09:00, but as of yet, it has not been resolved. This is now becoming a serious health risk.”
Comment from the City will be published once it has been received.
